Education
- PhD in Physics from Imperial College London in 2022; Postdoc in the Department of Mathematics at City, University of London in 2024.
Background
- A computational social scientist and Marie Curie Research Fellow with research interests in applying tools from network science, statistical inference, and AI to problems in computational social science, particularly focusing on the structural underpinning of political polarisation, climate communication and politics, and climate finance.
Miscellany
- Interested in science policy, having written articles for political think-tanks and the LSE climate blog. Authored an op-ed in The Banker (by the Financial Times) discussing why fossil fuel phase-out from the banking sector has failed thus far.
